Brent forrestor wrote the snake/wiggum/herman one, jamie.

According to what Ortved's book tells us, that Groening credit is probably just a formality...

well there's 3 writers (4 if you count matt groening) that must have written at least one segment from the list, so we'll have to link them only by their writing style (unless someone finds some kind of forgotten document), and since we're talking short stuff, this is pretty damn hard.
eh, who am i fooling, i have no idea, but i may think of something later.

i am going to venture a guess that groening wrote lisa's hair pt. 3

- it seems logical that he would choose one of the family members; he's also said that lisa's his favorite family member
- there's a bit of self-depreciation ("i finally look like a real person"); he has often lamented his drawing skills
- it utilizes the barber, whom he designed for a tracey ullman short

If you look at the songwriters credits of the "Go Simpsonic with the Simpsons" cd, you can see that Steve Tompkins co-wrote the "Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel" theme song and Matt Groening co-wrote the theme for "Apu: The Jolly Bengally", that probably means they wrote those segments. David Cohen wrote the deleted Krusty-Ralph scene according to the commentary, and the beginning of the fist Lisa scene (Where Marge cleans the sink) was written by Rich Appel.
